#9 “You don't take a photograph, you make it.” ~Ansel Adams
I agree and disagree with this. I think there is a lot of orchestration that goes into photography and portraits. On the other hand, there are a lot of spontaneous things that deliver messages that are unintended. I think the point of this quote is that TAKING a photograph refers to what you do with a camera. On the other hand, MAKING a photograph integrates all the thoughts and plans which go into coordinating the picture you want.
I am attempting to go from TAKING photographs to MAKING them... It is much more difficult (and fun) than I would have predicted. There is so much more process in this than I would have planned.
